94.5 ABQ

K

K6JHU

Whatever happeend to the plan to put a translator on 94.5 in ABQ? That was supposed to be in October. I was in town yesterday and all that was there was the 94.5 pirate.
 
Big on-air promo message yesterday 2/5/2013 on 107.5 Kool by owner Don Davis...107.5 goes off the air for good valentine's day in the AM..and brand New 94.5 debuts noon valentine's day with music from the 70's and 80's....I'm sure AGM is happy with 107.5 nipping at their heels of late. will 1550 simulcast with 94.5 or remails "Real Oldies" ??? Vanguard will then have two AM's and two FM's....nice.

or did I hear 95.4..hell I am dyslexic in my old age, all I know they are changing..someone will correct me I'm sure..
 
I don't think the FCC has a requirement on how many translators a company can own in a particular market.

Would have been logical to me to put the talk programming on the 107.5 (rather than taking it off the air) and be the first in the market (other than 101.7 sports) with FM talk. Especially since the 1600 signal is severely night challanged.

Unless this has soemthing to do with a plan to translate 92.7 (Grants)/1240.
 
They couldn't keep both 107.5 and 94.5. They're the same license (facility ID #88468), and the only way they got on 94.5 was by filing an application stating they were being displaced by 107.5 by a new signal on that frequency at Alamo Community.

In certain very limited circumstances in the past, the FCC has allowed an applicant to "recharacterize" an application to move a facility, allowing both the old and new facility to continue to exist. We had an example up here near me in western NY about 20 years ago, where a daytimer on 1550 had applied to move to fulltime on 1310. Instead of signing off the 1550, they persuaded the FCC to recharacterize the 1310 app as a new app, allowing them to keep both 1310 and 1550. (1310 was later sold, and 1550 later augmented by a new FM translator.)

Recharacterization was possible back then because the rules would have allowed that owner to apply for a new AM anyway. But in this case, the FCC is not accepting applications for new translators, so allowing both 107.5 and 94.5 to stay on the air together would have provided the owner an unfair advantage.
 
Well since Don Davis aka ABQRADIO is the engineer for The Alamo Station as Well, he put it all together...Last book KABG had a 5.4 107.5 had fallen to a 1.8 I would Not call that Nipping at Their heals Now when I was PD of 107.5 they had a 3.5 and we had a 2.6 that was nipping at the heals NOT so true anymore since I left
 
94.5 sounds pretty good..hearing some good stuff..did hear a beatles and Mitch Ryder both from 1968, that's just a couple of nitpicks,since they are 70's and 80's. Only heard one really bad cut to date by Michael Jackson, the cut never charted and I never heard it ever. But overall pretty good, alot of Disco stuff I hadn't heard since the John Aragon - Judy Valdez days at KANW. I can't believe that KAGM hit 5.4, especially before the change at 107.5.....still haven't heard William DeVaughn and Timmy Thomas, might be too funky for their format.
 
Station STronger Signal and NO clue to what Makes a Classic Hits Station WOrk ratings just out station hasTUMBLED from a 2.4 with a PD to a 1.1 with the owner in charge
